dns lookups

[Rp]

My internal dns cannot resolve every request. If I add my
isp dns to the forwarders I receive errors in event viewer
that my isp "dns is non-recursive". I need this setting to
work so I can lookup external mx records and delivery mail
to hosts around the world. Does anyone have any idea's on
how to set this up?

Check your ISP's Website to verify that you are using the correct DNS
servers. Many ISP's especially the large one have non-recursive DNS servers
that are used only for Authoritative DNS servers for hosted domains. These
ISP's will have DNS servers geographically located for name resolvers. If
you are unable to find that information use 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2.

No, you don't.
